Well i gotz a load of upgrades over xmas

thing is, my new fancy dual-xeon mobo has a power connector ive not seen before - apparently its 12v CPU power like the 4pin connector on many P4 boards, but this one is 8pin.
Ive not got a psu with that on there. anyone come accross one?
I dont want to spend much more than £80-100 or so if possible. it has to be serious wattage i think as the machine has now got 2 x 2.4ghz and 10 hard drives

comeon! anybody?

berk you run servers yeah? what do your boards use?

just use a 110volt outdoor use transformer, whats the worst that can happen?

*...remembers wiring a 24volt fan into the 230volt mains. boom. heh*

I was ignoring this post because:

1. I havent a clue.
2. You are obviously showing off: "I have 2 xeon processors, ooo look at me, I'm so great"

thanks spoodie!
yes i like the idea i have more processors than you! but its no good if i cant run the buggering machine
ill try bodging it with my existing PSU 4 pin thing and see if it fits/works

ah brill, but nearly $500!!
Infact all of their high performance ones have the 8pin.
i wonder if they have a UK stockist

berk uses dells for servers mainly, less fucking effort.

excelentee, thats the kinda thing i need. Will look for a UK supplier, failing that it seems bodgable.
Not worth shipping from US i think
